What you need:
. a long skinny balloon for making animals out of. an appreciative audience!

What to do:
. blow up the balloon so it's about 1 metre long. bend it round into a circle. clasp the circle around the middle and twist it to make this dragonfly shape. tuck one of the dragonfly's wings into the other one to make the body of the swan. hold the swan's beak against its neck and squeeze the body so it inflates the head in a bent shape. crikey - that's no ugly duckling!!!
